Outline planning permission for the scheme on a greenfield site between Rogerson Road and South Meadows Caravan Park was approved by Northumberland County Council on a 10-1 vote last October.

However, it was subject to a section 106 legal agreement to secure the 10 affordable homes, £25,800 to support GP facilities, and a coastal mitigation contribution of £615 per unit, totalling £22,755. That has now been signed off.
